Yea, there's a ton of YOLO -level batteries in e-bikes and e-scooters.

Car manufacturers actually care about reliability, because they're usually bigger corporations with deep pockets.

Pretty much anyone with a contact in China can start "manufacturing" white-label e-scooters from the cheapest bidder. Then just shut down the corporation and disappear if any issues arise.
